notonthehighstreet.com is an online marketplace showcasing unique collections of inspiring products by some of the most creative UK small businesses.

Their idea was to make it easier, and more enjoyable, for customers to find something different for themselves, their homes and their friends and family - the type of original, high quality items that you stumble across in tucked-away boutiques and urban markets but just can’t find on the high street. Every item on the site is created or sourced by a UK small business, handpicked for their high quality, unique and inspiring products. They are passionate about supporting these small businesses and the amazing products they sell. They are sponsoring the two days at Bix this year where they will be showcasing some of the beautiful items from the site.
